cities of the state were Frustrated
with malignant disease, and upon
investigation it was found that only
those who used water from famous
old well we're the victims.
Profes sor S. A. baltimore, analyst
of the New York State Board Of
Health. upon analyzing water from
this well, found it more deadly than
the city sewage
The filling up of the old we'll
stopped the ravages Of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed
while some men were making an ex-
cavation for a large building, a
stratum Of dark colored earth running
from near the surface to hard pan.
There it took another course toward
well near at hand. The water
from this well had for years been
tainted with the DRAWINGS from re-
ceiving vault, the percolations of
which had discolored the earth
Terrible!
4 similar condition of things exists
in every village and city where we'll
water is used, and though the filter
ing which the fluids receive in pass
ing through the earth may give them
a clear appearance, yet the poison
and disease remains, though the
water may look never SO clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer,
for the drainage from the barn yard
and the Stops from the kitchen
eventually find their way into the
family well!
The same condition of things exists
in our large cities, whose water sup
plies are rivers fed by little streams
that carry off the filth and drainage
from houses. This water" is even.
tually drunk by rich and poor alike
with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the
filter for purifying this water, but
even the filter does not remove this
poison, for water of the most deadly
character may pass through this
filter and become clear, yet the
poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that
they must be renewed at regular
periods, for even though they do not
take out all the impurity, they soon
become foul.
Now in like manner the human
kidneys act as filter for the blood,
and if they are filled up with i'm
purities and become foul, like the
filter, ali the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad,
for it is now a conceded fact that the
kidneys are the chief means whereby
the blood is purified. These organs
are filled with thousands of hair-Iike
tables which drain the impurities from
the blood, as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
If sewer pipe breaks under the
house, the sewage escapes into the
earth and fills the house with poison
GUS gas; so if any of the thousand
and one little hair-like sewer tubes
of the kidneys break down, the entire
body is affected by this awful poison.
It is scientific fact that the kid
neys have few nerves of sensation;
and, consequently, disease may exist
in these organs for a long time and
not be suspected by the individual.
1t is impossible TO filter or take the
death out of the blood when the least
arrangement exists in these organs,
and if the blood is not filtered then
the uric acid, or kidney poison, re-
movable only by Warmers safe cure,
accumulates in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out
Of ten ailments, just as sewer gas and
bad drainage produce SO many fatal
disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to
exist if there is any marked depar-
ture from ordinary health without
apparent known cause, and it should
be understood by all that the greatest
peril exists, and is intensified, if there
is the least neglect to treat it promptly
with that great specific, Warmers
safe cure, a remedy that has received
the highest recognition by scientific
men who have thoroughly inv estiga-
ted the character of kidney derange-
ments.
They may not tell us that the
cause of SO many diseases in this
organ is the impure water or any other
one thing, but this poisonous water
with the impurities coursing con-
stantly through these delicate organs
undoubtedly does produce much of
the decay and disease which even
tually terminate in the fatal Bright's
disease, for this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists,
the tobacco slave, the laborer, the
merchant and the tramp, works ter
rible devastation every year.
1t is well known that the liver
which is so easily thrown "out of
gear" as they say, very readily dis
turbs the action of the kidneys.
That organ when deranged, imme-
didtely announces the fact by sallow
skin, constipated bowels, coated
tongue, and headaches, but the kid
ney when diseased, struggles on for
a long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the aid of
the microscope or by the physician
who is skillful enough to trace the
most indirect effects in the system to
the arrangement of these organs, as
the prime cause.
The public is learning much on
this subject and when it comes to
